Our Services
Reclad
Through our extensive understanding of facades and specialist supply chain partners, we have widespread experience in the recladding of buildings.
Following the success of our façade division, we created a specialist team of experts whose sole focus is the recladding of non-compliant buildings. Through our in-house expertise we are able to manage the full recladding project lifecycle from inception to completion. Taking the role of either principle contractor or subcontractor our cladding remediation solutions focus on compliance, quality and cost control.
We offer:
Cladding Investigation
Artic Construction conducts detailed inspections of the current facade, revealing portions of the exterior wall to gain a more accurate insight into the construction specifics, cladding materials, fire cavity barriers, and insulation.
We can organize customized access solutions for investigations in intricate settings and collaborate with essential parties to ensure minimal resident disruption.
Our skilled team will conduct a thorough analysis by examining operation and maintenance manuals and relevant technical drawings and will provide a comprehensive report upon completion of the assessment.
Design & Specification
Our skilled team of facade designers and engineers work closely with clients to plan and outline cladding remediation projects by evolving laws and standards. We will suggest a remedial approach to preserve aesthetics, offering a chance to enhance building efficiency while ensuring adherence to regulations.
Fire Testing
Conducting fire testing on cladding is extremely important. Artic Construction collaborates with accredited testing centres to conduct independent and unbiased testing. This evaluation assesses the fire safety standards of external cladding on structures and provides evidence to assure building authorities, fire services, and insurers of the fire resistance of facades. Artic Construction has successfully conducted testing using accredited labs in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and East Africa.
EWS1
We regularly enlist independent regulatory bodies that are appropriately qualified to ensure adherence to statutory regulations.
During the design and specification phase, these bodies are involved in early feedback and approval of proposed recladding materials before construction begins.
They conduct regular site visits for inspection and approval at crucial construction milestones and are tasked with issuing an EWS1 certificate upon the completion of remediation efforts
Quality Control
Quality control is a priority in our operations. We follow a strong quality control procedure that showcases compliance through different technologies and software, which requires stakeholder approval at critical project milestones.
Remediation Works
Our highly skilled in-house teams are experts in facade installation. They adeptly handle removing non-compliant cladding materials and replace them with compliant, cost-effective alternatives. This comprehensive solution includes providing all necessary access, licenses, hoarding, security, and management from start to finish, instilling confidence in our clients.
Artic Construction prides itself on extensive experience in working within live environments, a crucial aspect for completing recladding projects in occupied buildings. Our approach ensures minimal disruption, providing reassurance to owners and occupants. We have dedicated resident liaison teams to ensure everyone is well-informed throughout the process, further enhancing this reassurance.
Artic Construction stands out as a trusted contractor for successfully completing cladding remediation projects funded publicly or privately. With a wealth of experience in the cladding market, we have a specialized internal team and network of technical experts to handle complex cladding remediation schemes.
